Truth

Diane Hannah
Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini Algonquin
First Nation

Generational Trauma, multi-media 3D, deer, hide, hair, birch bark, porcupine quills, ink, and glass bead work, 3′ x 2′

The image is of a young Indigenous girl in residential school who is carrying an unwanted child which was conceived from her being raped. This is the darkest piece of artwork that I will have ever created.
